Case 194 -- July 3, San Diego, California:

Two
Navy Chief Petty Officers, Robert L, Jackson and William Baker, were at the
Naval Station when they observed three disc-like objects approximately 20 miles west of the Station, over the Pacific Ocean.
The officers said the objects, flying at an estimated speed of 400 miles an
hour, came in from the west and circled, then flew back out over the ocean.

“They were about half-way
from the horizon," Jackson said. "They appeared to be round as saucers and
were flying fairly close together in formation." The wire service accounts
of this report did not say whether a report had been made out to Navy
officials.

Case 257 -- July 4, Lake City, Washington:

Yeoman Frank Ryman, of the Coast Guard, photographed a disc as it flew over
Lake City (IV-3).

Case 326 -- July 5, Seattle, Washington:

Marine
Sgt. Raynor L. Cain, of 364l 26th Place West, reported that at 12:40 p.m.
PST he had seen two disc-like objects flying over the city. "They looked
like night footballs - the silvered kind you use for games under lights. The
first one banked slightly at about 8000 feet, and then seemed to shoot up
and out of sight, heading north. The second one, following about a minute
behind, appeared to be wobbling in flight, but it, too, headed north,
climbing out of vision," Cain said.

Case 403 -- July 6, Denver, Colorado:

LeRoy
Krieger, Aerologist Second Class at the Buckley Naval Air Station, east of
Denver, reported he had seen a bright object which he was convinced "was not
an airplane." At an unspecified time during the day, he and James Cavalieri,
a Buckley Field hospital apprentice, reported they saw an object "round and
shiny, like silver," to the east of the field, "shooting up and down." It
made no noise, and after several minutes of this peculiar maneuvering, the
object left at high speed. "It was going like a bat outa hell," Krieger
reported. His companion agreed.

Case 769 -- July 8, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii:

At
5:30 p.m., HST, more than 100 Navy men watched an oblong shaped object over
the base at Pearl Harbor. It was described by most witnesses as
"silvery colored, like aluminum, with no wings or tail, sort of round or
oblong-shaped, and moving both slow and fast." The object was "very high,"
and moving westward toward Honolulu in "alternating bursts of speed" and in
a "slow, zigzagging" flight path. Among the Navy men reporting the object
were Yeoman 2c Ted Purdue, 21, of McClain, Texas; Yeoman 1c Douglas
Kacherle, 22, of New Bedford, Mass.; Seaman 1c Donald Ferguson, 19, of
Indianapolis, Indiana; Yeoman Morris Kzamme, 13, of LaCrosse, Wisconsin;
and Seaman Albert Delancey, 19, of Salem, West Virginia.

Navy officials at the base
reported that they had begun an investigation of the reports. A check of
balloon flights was made and it was learned that at 4:35 p.m. a weather
balloon had been sent aloft from the Honolulu Airport, but had risen quickly
and was carried off to the southwest with prevailing winds. Honolulu police
said that no reports had been received from the city. They confirmed that
both military and civilian authorities were making a check of the reports.
The sighting, however, is not among those in the Air Force files.

Case 835 -- July 12, Seattle, Washington:

Seaman
John C. Kennedy and Seaman Ben Bobberly were on duty at Sand Point Naval Air
Station in northeast Seattle on Lake Washington when, at 6:35 p.m. PST, they
saw what appeared to be a disc-like object flying overhead. "It was headed
east, toward Kirkland, over Lake Washington," Kennedy later reported, "and
at, I should say, a 12,000-foot altitude. It was silvery, perfectly round and
made no noise that I could hear." He said they had reported the sighting to
officers at the base.

In spite of its having been
officially reported, it is not included in the Air Force files. However, at
about the same time the two seamen made their observation, three disc-like
objects were reported over the area around North 82nd Street and 11th
Avenue, going north very fast and very high (Case
834). The two teenagers who reported this sighting, Arnold Bergh
and James Calahan, said the objects were "silvery and flashing in the sun,"
and appeared to be "swerving a little, back and forth, and up and down."
